The suspect got into a scuffle with an officer and pulled the
knife outside the New London naval submarine base in Groton
around 7 p.m., base spokesman Chris Zendan said.
Two other officers responded to the incident and one suffered a
ricochet injury after a colleague fired his pistol, Zendan said,
while another received a minor stab wound to the leg.
Both were treated in a nearby hospital and released later.
The suspect, who was not affiliated with the U.S. Department of
Defense, was apparently uninjured, Zendan said, adding that he
would stay in the custody of the Navy Criminal Investigative
Service after having been arrested by Groton police.
Police, navy and FBI officials are investigating the matter,
Zendan said, adding, "We have no indications at this time that
this was in any way terrorist-related."
